GNING Treasury Notes —Few have any con- ception of the increased labor in the Treasury De- partment consequent u; the issue of the new -doil Ap amaoy 3 notes. Those ing of large inations, were Sage ap few in number; but the innu- merable slips of paper necessary to be signed In the issue of this last supply has made !t necessary to Stupa room in the Extension, and to employ an increased force. Eight large tables are ranged in the it, upon which are stacked spaegs packages of bills, wbich are |~ cose f by bundreds under the silent manipulations of the clerks, who py oid halt a denen fo ech, ted up in lrge peckeges, a each, up in large ages, and after being signed are cut apart ready for cir, culation. The clerks are paid according to the number each and experts are able to earn more than the salaried clerks of the it. Great precautions are taken against fraud, and a strict account {s kept with each individual. On the lower left-hand corner of each note is printed “ Register of the T: .”? and over these words a clerk signs bis name, adding after it the words “* for the,”’ and then passes it to another clerk,who over the words “ Treasurer of the United States” in the lower right-hand corner, writes his name, also adding after it ‘for the.’? So that the signa- tures to each note may be expressed technically as“ A. B. for the Register of the Treasury,” “ C. D_ for the Treasurer of tue United States * The notes are on s'rong bauk note paper of fine quality, and are printed green on the back, (to Prevent photographic copying.) On the back of each note are the words ‘United States of Amer- ica,’’ and the denomination of the note in figures and letters, finely and intricately engraved in various styles, the designs for each value being different. The engraving for the facrs of all the notes is beautifully finished. The 5’s have on the left aide a fine vignette, representing the Goddess of Freedom, apparently photograpbed from the statue intended for the dome of the Capitol. The sword In the right hand and wreath in the left, with the starry helmet and mantle, are faithfully copied, and so fs the hemispherical lestal—the inscription on the cylindrical band at the base only showing of the inscription “E Pluribus Unum,” the letters ‘ribus Unum,” the rest being on t’otber side of the circle. On the right is a | ayo of a revolutionary worthy, which we take be the first Secretary of the Treasury. The notes are numbered with red figures, in the upper right-hand corner. They read as follows: “The United weies poutie to pay to the bearer five dollars on demand.” The 10’s have on the left a vignette containing a portrait of the President, and on the right a fe- male figure handsomely draped, holding in the right hand a tablet resting on the hip, and fn the left hand a pallet and brushes. In the 2enter at the top is a spread eagle and shield with the in- | scription “ E Pluribus Unum”? on ascroll. These notes read, ‘« On demand the United States promise to pay to the bearer ten dollars.” The 20’s Lave in the center a female figure with & wreath on the head and a mantle bordered with stars thrown over the shoulders, holding in tae right hand a sword and resting the left onashield There are small vignettes in each upper corner with Wineach. Thenctes read asfollows: “On demand the United States promise to pay twenty dollars to the bearer.” Allof the notes we have mentioned have on them the date of the issue, place of payment and the words. “ Act of July 17,1861.” also the words “«Received in payment of all public dues.’ At the rate these notes are now being signed they will soon be ready to go into circulation through- out the country. We speak here of the smslier notes intended for a circulating medium—the interest notes of larger denominations being signed as heretofore by roper officers of the Dep:rtment without the in- Rervention of an amenuensis. Potice Commissioners —The Metropolitan Po- lice Commissioners met in the Aldermen’s Room at the City Hell, yesterday. The committee on rules and regulations made a voluminous report of rules for the governmeiit of the board and of the police force, which is mostly compiled from the regulations in force in other cities. Printed, the report will make a pamphlet of considerable size. The report was adopted, witbout amendment. Mr. Brown withdrew his resolution, offered at the last meeting, !n relation to making the ap- — hag. acary! deve the Ist day of Novem- , by which time the appointees could be fairly tried, and submitted the following rules to be ob- served in the appointments; which were adopted: “It being important that persons appointed on the police force be such as are in all respects fitted to the service, appointments thereto of serzeants and patrolmen will only be made after a trial of not less than thirty nor more than sixty days, when if the service of the mor persons selected by the Buard of Police for such trial shall be satisfac- tory to the Board, they may receive their appoint- ments to date from the day of entry upon duty of such trial, and be paid accordingly. If such ser- vices fail to satisfy the Board of the fitness of the persons thus selected for trial fer the performance of police dutirs, they shall not receive appoint- ments, but may be allowed a compensation equal to the rate payable to appointersof the same grade for the time thus actually on trial, to be paid out of the general or contingent fund. Such exami- nation or trial shall not prevent a subsequent ap- plication for triai, if the Board shall have just grounds to believe that the person’s trial was not a fair one, or where an ascertained disability may have been removed * A tergeant and twenty-three patrolmen were then elected for the third district (comprising all of the county west of Rock Creek, including Georgetown.) Other patrolmen for the county and city were then elected, but no publication of names Will be made until the List is complete. A committee of three on uniforms was ap- pointed, and the board adjourned until Monday, atl o’clock p. m. Violations oF THE Liquor Law.— Warning to Offenders —iobn Jones was arrested day before yesterday, near the camps in the vicinity of ‘Ten- allytown, fora violation of the liquor law. He wasexamined before Justice Reaver, of George- town, who fined him $25. He refused to pay the Ane, and the magistrate committed him to jall for 30 days. Arrived there, Jones did not like the accommodations at the‘ blue jug,” and became suddenly repentant. I. of persisting any ines he wouldn’t pay the fineyand he would zo to jail, be sent word to the Squire that he would now pay the fine to be released. Greatly to his disgust, the Justice decided that, having been committed to jail for 30 days, be could not be released until the time expired. So Mr Jones Perforce bas a month before him in which to ex- Piate his foliy. Amandus Bavombach wes arrested in George- town yesterday, for selling !iquor to soldiers, and will be examined before Justice Reaver to-day An Ovation —Capt. Joseph Laing, of the New York 79th (Highland) Regiment, a son of old Scotia, having nearly recovered from the effects of the severe wounds he received at the battle of Manassas, as they style jtin Dixie, was entertained by some brother Scots on Thursday evening last.

This last matter was considered proper for further investigation, and the prisoner was held to bail for a bearing. Quete TyrosrarnicaL Exror.—That wase@ fueny mistake in alocal article in our edition of yesterday, where, amination of Mr. Yates before Prize Commissioner Woodward, we were made to say “His wife has twuth her ali the money, and seems to manifest con- s derable anxiety’ The sentence ss written was: “His wife was with Avm all the morning. and seems,”’ &c. ?

Later in the afternoon a number of officers pro- ceeded to the dwelling of Mr. Selby Parker and took him into custody. Rumor says that the money of the concern was deposited with him, and that a sum of between twenty-six and twenty- seven t) dollars was danced Nothing Positive concern! the progress o! e investi- gation has been pod je public, though a thousand rumors are afloat. Desperate AssavLt.—Editor of the Star—Sir: A serious outrage was committed last Saturday evening at the head of sere ihbeened avenue, op- posite the Capitol gate, which bas not received per notice. A colored man by the name of Ibert Young, residing in the alley immediately in the rear of No. 558 Pennsylvania avenue, was either returning home or leaving the same, when be was fired upon by some unknown person stand- ing near the sidewalk on the street leading to the railroad depot, as related by some boys who wit- nessed the affair. The shot missed, when he was horribly beaten on and about the head with the stock of the pistol, some parts of which were found on the spot,(apparently a large horse pistol ) He was carried to his home insensible, and still remains delirious, with but slight hopes of re- covery. Much difficulty was experienced in get- ting & physican to dress his wounds, but finall Dr. Wallace volunteered his services, and too! especial care to make him as comfortable as pos- sible He hasa wife and several children, and the case surely needs investigation by the author- ites This murderous assault happened about 9 o’clock in the evening. L. Gertinc Satisraction.— This morning, a French woman who keeps a boarding-house on Eleventh street, met a man on the street who Lad been boarding at her house until bis bill amounted to ten doilars, when be left without settling up. She took his hat, and by this means ‘ot him to Justice Donn’s office, where she made er complaint. The fellow seemed to be perfect- ly careless about !t; and the woman finding she could get no pay by a prosecution, declined that course. When the fellow left the office she went to work upon him, and gave him a sound thrash- ing with fists, cla and parasol, to the infinite delight of a numerous crowd of spectators, who would permit no interference. There are num- bers of the samesort loafing about the city, living upon those who are unwary enough to be de- ceived by them. Reveasep —Mr. Charles A. Yates, of Charles county, Md.,a ger on the prize schooner Remittance, whose examination before Prize Commissioner W. R. Woodward was noticed in our second edition of rday, was honorably discharged, there being no evidence against him.

Regp Birps anp CHAMPAGNE —See Hammack’s rounnciamento elsewhere. He well character- zes his establishment as an ‘‘Institution.”’ It Is, in fact, one of the lions of the National Metropo- lis; and all visitors are naturally bound, while “doing” the wonders of the Federal capital, to drop inat No 212 Pa. avenue, ard see J. D.H, of whom they have beard, and sample the luxuries of his larder and cellar, of which they hav a0 heard Just now, Hammack bas some delicacies for the palate that quite surpass anything previ- ously seen on bis well-stocked tables; which ac- counts forthe fact thatall knowing ones about town who pride themselves on keeping posted as to where good eating is to be had, are to be seen swarming about that same No. 219 Pa. avenue. Tur Guarpuovuse Cases —This morning, Jus- tice Clark went to the Central Guardbouse to try the cases, and there he met with Justice Donn. The latter has been commissioned to examine the cases brought before him by the military authori- ties; the former was i apenioce by ex-M: ig Ber- ret to try the cases at the guardhouse, in his turn, witb two other magistrates, as a corporation po- lice magistrate. He contended for the right to try the guardhouse cases. Justice Donn declined to enter into any controversy about the matter, and subsequently he entered upon the examina- tion of the cases at his office.

Northern. ner in the peni- tentiary, who was brought before bis Honor Judge Merrick, of the Circuit Court, last Wednesday, on a writ of Aabeas corpus, was postponed antil to- day, to enable the District A‘ to procure evidence. The prisoner was brought into court this morning by the Warden of the Penitentiary, but Mr. Carrington, the District Attorney, was not present. The only material evidence adduced was that of Mr. King, Warden of the Penitentiary, who testified to the prisoner's admissions, when uestioned, that he ( prisoner) was tried before the Circuit Court of the United States for the State of Virginia, on the charge of embezzling letters, while he was employed by the United States Post Office Department, and that he was convicted fcr that offense, and sentenced to ten years’ imprison- ment in the penitentiary of the District of Co- lumbis. Mr. Davis, the prisoner's counsel, moved that the prisoner be discharged. First, Because the Warden cannot produce a copy of the commitment under seal. Second, Because the records, mor the papers on file in the penitentiary, show no canse why he should be there incarcerated for any given length of time. Thirdly, That the act of Congress passed May 34, 1829, U.S. Stat at large, vol 4, page 365, provides that « descriptive list of the nemes, ages, crimes, and sentencesef the convicts. shall be kept by the Warden; and such description shall be entered immediately upon the reception of each convict And, fourthly, That a wy bos the commitment under the seal of the court which pronounced the sentence, (if there was any pronounced,) ought to be on file in said penitentiary, subject to examin- ation And whereas none of the above requirements of the law have been complied with, we claim that it is the duty of the court to discharge the pfis- oner. He alluded to thestate of the country, which he declared was crumbiing te pieces, and to our con- dition, imprisoned in the Federal Capital, within the sound of the rebel guns. The warden ought to have discharged the prisoner immediately; not doing so, he was liable for ae He said it was the duty of the U. 8. District Attorney to be here, and speaking of the prisoner's admissions, made the rather extraordinary assertion that in less than three years, yes, in less than twelve months, hundreds of citizensof this District would be glad to go to the es to be provided for, and if asked wha’ were there for, would probably tell the warden t were sentenced for twenty years. "The court decided that baving judicial knowl- edge of the extraordinary state of the country, it could not require the production of primary evidence, such as the certified commitment of the Circuit Court of Virginia. The Presi- dent having laimed non-intercourse with Virginia, and the other Seceded States, it was a legal impossibility to obtain such evidence. therefore parole evidence must be admitted; and no stronger secondary cae reer be than the prisoner's own admissions The ol nme ‘was therefore remanded to the custody of the warden of the [sgeewersar’ (had be retained until discharged by due course we LATEST NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. estate 4 Aot = FROM FORTRESS MONROE.
